Mother of missing girl pleads for information about daughter

AMARILLO  The mother of a woman missing for two weeks is pleading for any information  even bad information.

"I've just got to find her, and if she's dead I want her. I want her," said Gail Wagner.

"This is such a nightmare. I'm not crying much anymore, but I'm pleading. I'm begging," said Wagner.

Wagner's daughter, 28-year-old Kelly Katherine Wagner, was last seen Dec. 27, her birthday, as the two left the house they share to run errands and then meet up for dinner.

Kelly Wagner never showed up to that birthday dinner.

Police are tracking down leads and the family has put up posters offering a reward and a number to a private detective investigating the disappearance.

Gail Wagner said keeping her daughter's disappearance in the news may trigger some information.

"I know somebody knows something, even if it's not a good something. If they would just tell a friend, a friend they trust, to call the police. I just need her back. I need her found," Gail Wagner said.
